The aircraft remained in the circuit area whilst the pilot attempted to lower the landing gear using both manual and emergency methods.
Piper PA-31-310 Navajo
The landing gear problem arose when the left main landing gear would not lower. Examination of the aircraft revealed that both hinges fitted to the inboard landing gear door had fractured. The forward hinge had fractured as a result of fatigue and the rear hinge as a result of overload. Full accident record
